We are happy to provide certification verification to potential employers and will provide the verification within 72 hours of receiving a complete request. Verification for certification requests must be made in writing and include the following:

* Certificant's full name * Certificant's e-mail address * Written verification from the certificant to allow designation information to be released to the requestor

Hey there H1t M0nk3y. I just passed my CEH and I am supposed to wait for the stuff to be posted at home. Isn't there some kind of a Certification Card, ID or something? I don't know but I'd definitely expect some kind of a formal prrof paper...

Sorry for my late responses, but yes Hordakk, like BillV mentioned, you will get a letter, a certificate and a car sticker. For me, it took about 8 weeks before I received it.

And chrisj is right, I am looking for way the employer can verify the credentials. And in some cases, without having met the cadidate yet (after looking at their resume for example).

To me, sending emails to EC-Council is not practical at all. When I review resume, I would usually pick the best three and start digging more. I will normally call them for interviews in the same hour. So sending emails would be too slow.

* Written verification from the certificant to allow designation information to be released to the requestor

I've been interviewing lately, and out of all of them only 2 asked for the ability / had a request form to get information like that. Which were part of the application process.

The place that I got an offer, didn't even ask permission to look into my education, certs, or references until after they made the offer.

As H1t M0nk3y stated, some people want to confirm the credentials before offering the interview.

From the one side, I can see how it protects people by not being able to check until they get an offer, but at the same time there are people out there claiming things like certs and education that they don't have (Not just in InfoSec).
